HAMSTRINGS

Romanian Deadlift

IntermediateBodyweight

The Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge movement that keeps the knees mostly fixed and drives the load through the hips. It primarily builds the glutes and hamstrings while teaching a strong hinge pattern that carries over to deadlifts and other posterior chain work.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set a loaded barbell just off your shins and brace your core to keep a neutral spine.

  2. 2

    Hinge your hips back until you can reach down and grip the bar.

  3. 3

    Push through your heels and extend your hips until you're standing tall with the bar against your thighs.

  4. 4

    With only a slight knee bend, hinge your hips back again to lower the bar down your legs.

  5. 5

    Once you can no longer keep a neutral spine, reverse the movement and return to standing.
